Chapter 311 : A Rose Wedding 37 (1/2)

Ai Wei dazedly stared at Sikong Sa.

He shoved her away, causing her to stumble and fall to the rocky, uneven ground.

“Why do you think you were able to survive that fire?”

The memories of being in a fire flashed in Ai Wei’s mind. The pain she’d felt then still caused her fear.

“Why do you think so many vampires would acknowledge you based on a mere prophecy?”

“Why do you think Fei Qi helped you so much?”

As a human, she also had her doubts about being acknowledged by the vampires, so she had asked Fei Qi.

Fei Qi had told her she was different. But how so?

She had never met her parents before. Ai Qiang had raised her single-handedly and told her that her parents were dead.

‘Just who am I?’

“Back then, I was sure I’d given her medicine to make her infertile. I didn’t expect that she’d still get pregnant and manage to give birth to you. But I have to thank her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know where I’d find someone as special as you.”

He hadn’t been the Vampire Queen’s only man.

The fertility rates of vampires were very low, and he had just been a low-level vampire back then, so the father of the child couldn’t be him. The only possible candidates were the few Pure Bloods by the Queen’s side.

Sikong Sa slowly closed in on Ai Wei, his expression a bit twisted. “You shall pay for the sins your mother committed.”

Ai Wei’s mind was currently filled with the impossibility of it all. ‘I’m only 18! The former Vampire Queen died so long ago; there’s no way I’m her daughter! It’s impossible…

And I don’t drink blood! There’s no way I’m the daughter of a Vampire Queen! It’s impossible!’

Sikong Sa picked Ai Wei up from the ground and strode over to the coffin and sarcophagus in the distance. Beneath the two, an Eight Divinatory Trigrams formation had been drawn. The coffin and sarcophagus had been placed above the Yin and Yang points, respectively.

Sikong Sa tossed Ai Wei into the now-empty ice coffin.

“Sikong…you must’ve made a mistake! I’m not…” Ai Wei clutched at Sikong Sa’s hand, her face as pale as a sheet of paper. “Just think! I’m only 18! How could I be the daughter of the previous Vampire Queen? And I don’t have the desire to drink blood—there’s no way I’m a vampire! You must’ve gotten it wrong!”

Sikong Sa pressed her into the ice coffin and looked down at her from above. “Fei Qi sealed you away when you were born and hid you for close to a century. He only unsealed you eighteen years ago and handed you to Ai Qiang to raise. Of course you’d believe you were only 18.”

After a slight pause, he continued, “You’ve never drunk blood before, so naturally you wouldn’t have felt the urge to. But after such a long time in the territories, have you ever eaten anything?”

Ai Wei was stunned. Ever since she’d arrived in the territories…she really hadn’t eaten anything. And she hadn’t felt hungry even once.

‘No. I’m not…’

Ai Wei wanted to struggle, but found she was unable to move her body. She could only watch as Sikong Sa inserted a needle into her vein, causing blood to seep out. Soon, the small tube that was connected to the needle began filling up with blood.

Sikong Sa plugged in the other end of the tube to the glass sarcophagus. Ai Wei could vaguely make out the outline of a human figure lying in there.

Ai Wei could feel her blood draining very quickly, but she was unable to move.

‘Why? Everything is wrong! It isn’t supposed to be like this!’

Ai Wei blanked out at her own thoughts. ‘Then…how should it be?’

“Sikong…” She suddenly called out to him very weakly. Sikong Sa turned around to face her.

Ai Wei struggled to smile. “Can you…hug me one last time?”

Sikong Sa remained unmoved.

“Seeing as…we were once together…can you please…give me one last hug?”

Sikong Sa hesitated for a while before bending over to hug her.

He quickly released her, but Ai Wei used the last of her strength to kiss him on the lips.

He frowned and shoved her away before wiping at his lips in disgust.
